Further reforms:

♤ Implement Open Access (OA) Policy: This policy, contained in Electricity Act 2003, provides for unified national power market. Under this policy, large consumers can directly buy power from power plants, rather than through Discoms. This would bypass the disabilities of Discoms, while filling the gap between demand-supply. Indian Railways is going for this policy.

♤ Effective implementation of schemes: Such as Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) for providing round the clock power to the rural areas; and Power for All to ensure adequate power to all by 2019.
